The Flying Dutchman in Wijk 02 Volendam

The products are fresh and nice, but they seemed a bit expensive to us.

Unfortunately, it's very expensive for the portion. I confirm that the fish is reheated in the microwave.

Tourist trap, food is not tasty and way too expensive

Not recommended at all, extremely expensive, fried food reheated in a microwave, and they charge by weight without even clarifying the price.

Since we were not very hungry, we wanted to order a menu and split it in two, they said okay, but then they prepared it in two separate portions, I guess they didn't understand what we meant. The crab and shrimp were very good. But the menu was too much for us, so we had most of it left. And frankly, we were satisfied with the price we paid. We paid 96 Euros for two people.

The atmosphere in particular was very bad, unkind and unfriendly, it has nothing to do with the Netherlands.

Very mediocre food, bad service and way too expensive.

A total flop. Reheated, tasteless, and completely overpriced. A bowl for €27!!!

Everything was terrible. By far the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The staff are extremely antisocial and not customer-friendly. The prices are also higher compared to other restaurants.

Great place, best owner and staff, fun Geert Wilders event on October 26th. I really enjoyed this place.

Unfortunately, no reviews were read beforehand... Now I understand why there are no prices. Absolutely ridiculously expensive! They know the tourists will buy anyway. Never had such bad fried fish and such bad mussels (they probably weren't even fresh).... So better go on and invest in decent food.

Everything was bad, 26€ for a meager, reheated meal and unpleasant service :( He told us "it's 24€" and we went to pay and he said "26€" 2€ for some sauces that no one ordered.

Tourist trap! Fried fish is heated in the microwave! Disgusting! Fish has a rubbery texture! And the price is amazing. €14 for a tiny piece! Big rip-off!

We wanted a small beer since we saw those glasses, but she only wanted to serve pints and had to microwave the kibbeling. We declined.

Avoid this place. The food is terrible, unhygienic, and the beer is dead. If you mention this, don't even bother trying to get a new one because I can just pay for it, and you're called a liar. There are plenty of other nice cafes nearby; go there instead.

The worst place in the area, very expensive and the quality of the fish is terrible, everything is reheated in the microwave, super bad tasting, mussels that fall apart on their own with a muddy taste and the batter is softened and dry, all very bad, not recommended at all, a tray of assorted seafood 47€ with little quantity and all the above already said, in any other place you eat better and cheaper and there is no bathroom either.

Disgustingly hard fish Kibbeling that they heat up in the microwave. We have never eaten worse in our lives. Small portions for high prices. You ask for one type of beer and the waiter gives you another and lies that it is what you asked for! Disgusting

If I had seen the last review on Google Maps earlier, I would definitely not have visited this snack shop. My experience was almost identical to that described by the previous reviewer. I visited the shop around noon a few days ago. As none of the fried seafood items in the glass display had prices on them. When I asked about the prices, the staff answered somewhat impatiently. I ended up ordering around €18 worth of food. The staff then just heated everything in the microwave—and what made it worse was that some parts were still cold. Perhaps because the seafood snack wasn’t heated thoroughly, I felt a bit unwell later that afternoon and the whole experience was really disappointing.

Terrible... everything heated up in microwaves... very unfriendly and expensive

We would give 0 stars if we could. Unfortunately, we didn’t check the ratings before sitting down. Prices are not displayed anywhere, and we ended up paying over €70 for just 4 drinks and a few snacks. The food was reheated in microwaves and tasted awful. For the love of everything, please just eat somewhere else!

Very disappointed, I feel I was scammed because I've talked in English.I've paid for around 200 gr kibbeling with sauce 16 euro. While my fish was warmed up in the microwave (which made it soggy),I've asked another lady then the one that served me and she said it's around 4 euro per /100 grames and then said to the lady that served me that:her answer was :this is the best fish! There is no prices anywhere. She gave me a bill for a different fish that I've asked(so she can explain the price)...too bad ,it really looked like a nice place,but I will definitely never buy from here....

Overpriced, microwave heated tasles food.

You don't have to visit. No menu, so no information about the cost. 2 0.5l beers €17 -> A first-class tourist trap

1 small portion of mussels is 10,95e, so expensive , the taste is so bad too. Reheat by microwave

Very expensive and overheated. I don't recommend it at all. The waitress was very rude. Walk past and run away if you can. The one in the photo treated us very badly.

Too bad, a wonderful host but terrible food and a very high bill. Two beers and a selection of fried fish €45

You pay for the tourist fee, reheated food, beer €9.50, and if you want to use the toilet you still pay €1.

3 herrings, one with bread. One serving of mussels and one serving of prawn literally cost me 40 euros. Only 6-7 prawns, the herrings were not fresh and mussels started to turn bad I believe. Customers after me ordered about same amount of food and some beer, which cost them around 90 euros. Damn this place is bad and I hope the shop will shut down as soon as possible.

high prices (water for 4.80) and bad food go elsewhere

Overpriced, very bad microwave heated food. Don’t even think about to sit and enjoy. Very bad service. They don’t even bring a clean ashtray when you ask one.

A truly negative experience. Two Pepsis for €11 and 100 grams of fish for €8: outrageous prices for what you get. The food is awful and doesn't justify the price. Even worse is the staff's behavior: unprofessional and disrespectful, especially toward customers who don't speak English, who are clearly mocked. Absolutely avoid.

Pathwtic service, rude waitress, had filled my pint of beer with half fullnof froth, did not bother to top it up, said it was already filled. Food was reheated in a microwave. Avoid if you can.

The fried food doesn’t taste good at all and they aren’t freshly fried, seemed like they had been left out in the display for quite some time.They looked really good on the display but the taste and quality tells you otherwise.

Microwaved, precooked (and therefore rubbery) food... All this at a completely unjustified and unclear price, not even listed on the menu or labels, and even misleadingly exploiting the similar English pronunciation of, in our case, "fourteen" and "forty." The staff, despite this behavior, was friendly, but overall, I can only recommend it against other options in the city, which are visibly higher quality and more reasonably priced.

It's very expensive. Five shrimps for 8.67 euros.. A 0.5l Pepsi bottle for 5.5 euros.. 🫠 The fries are not crispy but rather soft. They heat them separately in the microwave and give you the sauce separately. If you ask, they'll give you a slice of lemon too! There was a long line of people so I waited in line to order.. 🥹

Everything that the tourist heart expects is fulfilled.

We've never had such bad food 😝 Everything is heated in a microwave, which is exactly how it tastes, and it's not even warm enough. Unfortunately, you only notice this after you pay!!! It's done intentionally!!! We had kibbeling rice with Napolitana sauce and paelli with shrimp and two Pepsi Cokes for a whopping €63.!!! This rip-off is unbelievable. Never again, and anyone who sees this place should steer clear of it; it's better for your stomach and your wallet!

Even one star is too much for this place. Our food was not delicious, the woman working was sullen and her behavior was not nice. I definitely do not recommend it. In the end, we wanted to use the toilet, it was 1 euro per person. Although we paid for 2 people, the door did not open, we told the woman working, she was not helpful and implied that we may have broken the door.

Not bad, the shrimp is the most worth ordering

VERY BAD. I paid 18.59 euros for what you can see in the photo. Microwave reheated. No flavour. Calamari too soft and no crispy at all. The worst calamari I’ve ever eaten. Prawns overcooked. Money direct to the bin.

The food was very stale today. It is a business with many sullen and cold people.

Eventhough the food was not bad, the fact that they charged me 18 euros for 12 shrimps reheated in a microwave felt unfair and excesively overpriced (no prices in the counter)

Microwaved cod... I don't need to say more, do I?!

3 beers and 1 Pepsi for 29.50. Unfortunately, there are no prices posted. A couple next to us ordered shrimp, but they stared at their receipts for a long time instead of eating...as mentioned, there are no prices posted!!!

Food is microwaved to heat after you choose what you want. Lunch was 60 euro and the fried food was no longer crispy. Service was good. No bathrooms that I could find.

Total scam, charged over 100 euros for 4 small portions of fish that was microwaved to heat it up! Vile and soggy food! All other places around charge 6 euros a portion for the same thing and they cook it fresh! Never again!

Rude staff, OVERPRICED and gross food which they only heat in the microwave giving one star cause you can’t give 0

It is a tourist scam. The prices are not written, so they make it really expensive. Do not come here. I wish I could give only zero stars.

Terrible food, microwaved prawns, smelling old. They give you the sauce for a fee without you asking for it. I advanced everything. €25 wasted

Let's start with the only thing that was good. Jumbo shrimp was a product that we could get a clear shrimp taste from. Apart from that, a few shrimps, 4 crab legs, 2 small cod slices, 1 beer cost 43.5 euros. We sat down crammed in. It really bothered us to pay 43.5 euros for a quick snack.

Very good but very expensive!!!!

Ordered one shrimp and one fried fish. The food is really delicious, but it is microwave food. After selecting the food you want, the clerk immediately took it to the microwave to heat it up. I was dumbfounded at the moment, and the fee was weighed. These cost a total of 20 euros in the photo, which is really expensive! ! ! It's delicious, but not worth the price. It will make you feel heartbroken after eating it. Located in the downtown area, there may be many better choices, but they are not so delicious that you have to spend this money, and they are not so delicious that you must eat them. (We stumbled across it while shopping and didn’t particularly check the reviews. When we turned around to write a review, we realized that it had such bad reviews.)

The food is great, but the waiters take it with their hands. There is no bathroom.

Even for the location, the food was very pricy; definitely reccomend going elsewhere.

At least the fries were freshly made. Beer delicious. Self-service. Very expensive. If you want to use the very dirty toilet you have to pay an extra 1 euro.

A real tourist trap. I would not recommend it under any circumstances. They do not have a visible price list and, when paying, you are faced with an exorbitant amount for reheated and low-quality food. The dishes, heated in microwaves, are served in plastic utensils, and the prices have no justification. To make matters worse, the treatment by the blonde manager leaves a lot to be desired: a person with very little kindness, a lack of tact and an attitude that borders on rude. It feels like the customer is bothering you more than anything else, which ends up ruining the experience.

Like other says, absolute scam. What would you order oven food with such high price and not even tasty. Don’t go to their WC neither it’s dirty.

The friend fish is warmed up in a microwave 😅😂 It is as moist as sponge in a sauna!!Shoutout to the microwave for ruining crunch!! Also overpriced…a HUGE tourist trap!

Nightmare. The food was not fresh, it was cold and they reheat it in the microwave. It wasnt tasteful either. We paid 180 euro for 4 persons with a soft drink. They put the food to the plates with naked hands, we even found a small black bug in the paelia rise. Unacceptable. Worst eating experience ever!!!! Do not go there!

Best place to visit! Great food. Great service!

It’s good because we have to put a star… it’s only the facade that was worth it. Avoid, price not indicated and what a disaster on the ticket and on the plate. Ashamed! Ashamed! And shameful!!!

I would like to warn everyone who is going to eat here: 2 gourmets warmed up in a microwave bowl of kibbeling and 4 bottles of coke for 98 euros. Pure fraud. Forewarned counts for two. Further down the road you can get the same thing for a fair price.

Extremely expensive, price not to be avoided.

85€ per kg for prawns, a little less for the rest. All reheated in the microwave. No prices displayed, in short for tourists we do what we want.... Go your way, walk a little further, you will surely find better ✌🤞👌

I didn't like the place, I don't recommend it...they charged us €68 for a beer, a soft drink and an assortment of fish...a little further on you can eat more, better and cheaper.

Bad kibbeling in the microwave very bad never again

Underground. wanted a small mixed fish platter to take away. I was puzzled by how it was put into one of the 10 microwaves to warm up. Then came the big surprise. The portion should cost 34 euros. This was followed by a discussion that it was weighed and that was the price. Left it there and didn't pay. This is a complete rip off. I'm not sure if it's even legal that prices aren't posted anywhere on the food or on the counter.

Very expensive, I don’t know the exact price, no price list. Calculated by weight. There was only one waiter, no clear line to order, and no idea how expensive it was until the last minute. I ordered three squid rings and five shrimps for a total of 15.9 euros. Fortunately, the taste was okay, but I started to get tired of it after eating half of it.

They sell by weighing, the price is not clear, the waiters are shameless, they were eating waffles, they sped up when they saw us, we paid 62 Euros for 4 people, it's too expensive, I feel like I've been screwed. They heat up the products that are not fresh in the microwave, it's a terrible, disgraceful place.

Shit, reheated food, super expensive and terrible, it's a rip-off

You get fried seafood by choice. It was quite delicious.

STAY AWAY - TOURIST SCAM 1) Food - no prices displayed, way overpriced. Food is microwaved. €100 for 4 persons for fried fastfood which is then microwaved. Prawns turned to rubber. Felt sick after it. 2) Service, we ordered individually at the counter as this is the process but the server then stacked all our food into 1 tray. We ordered 2 x fries, only received 1, which we had to collect at the counter, we were nearly finished our meal. Was it so difficult to bring to the table. We had 2 beers, the first beer was poured from 2 different taps blonde and dark beer wtf. The second beer was correctly poured. Found the staff to be rude to another customer who then just left. I was so shocked at the treatment they received. 3) Atmosphere it's a scam. MICROWAVED FOOD

24EUR for 450grams of kibbeling. I hope you spend it in a pharmacy,

€48.50 for reheated battered fish and you also take it from the trays with your hands

Kibbeling fresh from the fryer, was very tasty...but very expensive!!! Eel sandwich, 2 containers of kibbeling (6 pieces) and soft drink € 27.70. Fish is indeed expensive to pay for.

Unfortunately, for once I didn't pay attention to the other reviews. There are no prices to be found anywhere - the fries suddenly cost me €8 for a small bag. The fried fish was totally wobbly and the squid rings were just as slimy. I was so disgusted that I couldn't eat any of it anymore, no wonder if you just warm it up in the microwave. Give this store a wide berth!

It seems set up for tourists who don't know any better.

Disappointing experience at De Vliegende Hollander During a day in Volendam we wanted to enjoy a nice cup of bickering and ended up at De Vliegende Hollander. Unfortunately, our experience here was quite disappointing. We thought the price for the fish was on the high side, and to our surprise the fish was heated in the microwave. This really detracted from the taste and freshness, which we thought was a shame. In addition, the service was disappointing; when we left and said goodbye the staff were so busy with each other that we got no response back. In general, I am not easily dissatisfied, but this experience simply did not meet our expectations. Unfortunately not a place we will return to anytime soon.

The fish is very fresh and delicious. I recommend the cod fish and mussels. The prices are very affordable.

First time ever writing a restaurant review, but this place deserves it. Never had such an expensive and awful meal before. Everything tasted like it was just microwaved. Seriously, don't bother with this place.

Very rude staff and just not worth your money

Worst fish eaten in my life. I have stomachache for a couple of days after I had their microwaved fish. The price is ridiculous and it is a scam for tourists. I DO NOT recommend. Stay away from here if you do not want to pay a high bill and if you do not want to have stomach issues.

Very delicious seafood with so much choice for fish, shrimp, squid and other stuff I really enjoyed my meal

Average but overpriced food. Service was slow. Not recommended with so many other options available

Looked like a fast stop for something inexpensive. Ended up paying a lot for 2 beers and some fish n chips. Fish was tasty

Way too expensive and not worth eating

The downside is that there is a toilet problem, there is a toilet at the bottom, but it is paid, is it worth 1 euro every time? I don't like fried foods such as mussels and calamari, the calamari and fish were foamy, so it was not enjoyable. The prices are quite high, outrageous. 😇 Unnecessarily expensive, after all, it's fast food 😏 But the atmosphere is nice, you can watch the match while drinking your beer :) Would I go again? I probably won't go😉

Girls behind the bar are so rude and unfriendly. Seems like they dont want too many customers coming in

You go in to have a drink and there is no toilet, you have to go outside the bar and pay

They sometimes say that the price of fish is expensive. Well you can say that here. 4 portions of kibbeling, with 6 pieces of microwaved fish in each bowl. 4 Heineken and 2 fries for €76.60 And then the kibbeling was inedible and the fries were too salty. This tent is not worth a star.

Top service!!!!! Very nice lady who works there!! And the owner is a real Burgundian!!! Fish shop and pub at the same time!!! Very unique place!!!!! With a view of the IJsselmeer!!! They are toppers!!

Pretty good fried seafood. The staff is in a rush even when the place isn’t crowded. The food is sold by weight but prices are not displayed anywhere. When I asked for the restroom they pointed me out of the restaurant and to a paid public restroom.

It's a good place… if you like being robbed in the face

Everything about food comes from the microwave. We just wanted something to drink, 26.80 euros for 4 drinks! Scammers. Never again.

They have toilets where you have to pay 1 euro per toilet visit, I don't think paying for the toilet is that bad, but if I have to pay, it has to be clean!! These were really nasty!!!

They dont show prices and then charge a lot!!!

Run away, it’s expensive. Prices not indicated. Foods reheated in the microwave.

Very rude people. Food is very bad. They dont know how to serve. Make you wait in a queue and just randomly decide to serve another group of people who come way after you. They obviously ignore the fact that you have been waiting. To the restaurant: if you dont like to servesome specific people you are free to just tell them to leave. Dont make them wait in a queue in your filthy place

If Leo doesn't like it, I don't like it either.

They gave me a monkfish and it turns out it was alive. It got in my face.
